I lift mine eyes towards the heavensAnd I pray that the light I shall seeLord grant me strength and the wisdomAnd the will to fulfill my own destiny

'Cause now the rules have changedAnd it's a different gameYou never know what's coming 'til it hits youThey speak with tainted tonguesThere's nowhere left for peace of mindAnd when I go you know I'll really miss you

And when I close my eyes I hear the angels singBeyond tomorrow I have seen so many thingsAnd when the race is run, the final day is doneI have to know at least I tried

It's the end of the world and we're all out of timeOver the limit and 'cross the lineLive for the moment, there's no turning backTo the worlds we've left behindHow could we be so blind?

Step back, take a moment to catch my breathI have so many things to achieve before my deathI will ride the lightning, dance with kingsKiss the sky on dragon's wingsBuild an empire, save the dayIn the background the clock still ticks away

And when I close my eyes I hear the angels cryCast off my worldly things I am prepared to dieAnd when the day is done, the final race is runI have to know at least I tried

It's the end of the world and we're all out of timeLive for the moment, we're over the lineWay past the limit, there's no turning backTo the days we've left behind

And if you had it all to do over againHow many changes would you make before the end?Please don't tell me, please don't show meI don't want to know

It's the end of the world and we're all out of timeOver the limit and 'cross the lineLive for the moment, there's no turning backTo the things we've left behind

Ride the lightning, dance with kingsKiss the sky on dragon's wingsBuild an empire, save the dayIn the background the clock still ticks away
